Press SampleI saved the best lipstick from the MAC The Matte Lipstick Collection for last. MAC D Is For Danger Matte Lipstick is a true starlet-red shade that brings to mind silver-screen starlets from yesteryear, and all of the classic glamour and elegance they personified.

MAC D Is For Danger Matte Lipstick Swatch, Review

Here’s the hard truth about red lipstick. No one thinks they look good in red, yet everyone looks great in red! It’s true! You’ll need to overcome your fear of red and try this lipstick on for size. Something I love about MAC matte lipstick is that it doesn’t bleed into fine lines as much as a glossies formula would, making it that much more appealing to give this red a try!

Press Sample Just when you were getting used to the 80s being back, the 90s style is starting to edge its way onto the mainstream stage. Brown lipstick–yes, brown–is going to be scorchingly hot this Fall. Another hot trend? Matte finishes. So MAC Matte Lipstick in Stone from the MAC The Matte Lip Collection is a great choice that will carry you through the remainder of the year.

Stone is a cool hued neutral, an ashy medium/dark brown that will stand out even on darker complexions. The finish is devoid of shine, but not devoid of dimension! MAC Matte Lipstick formula has a velvety finish that is an upgrade from the traditional matte.

The matte lip is here to STAY readers, so if you still haven’t warmed to the trend, it’s time to get used to it! These lipsticks are now a part of MAC’s permanent makeup collection, so you can see the brand doesn’t expect the move toward matte to end anytime soon.

Matte Lipstick Swatches: Stone, D Is For Danger, and Velvet Teddy

Swatches from left to right: Stone- a deep cool-hued brown, D is for Danger- an incredible true red, and Velvet Teddy- a medium peachy-neutral. These pigment-rich shades aren’t the chalky mattes your grandmother wore! MAC describes the finish as “suede” and I feel that description is dead-on.

Press SampleThis is my last review from the MAC Le Disko Collection! Don’t forget these dazzling makeup items are limited edition, so if something speaks to you be sure to grab it while you can! Feel The Fever Dazzleshadow is a magical Taupe with pink shimmer that is truly a showstopper.

Deep down, isn’t there something about glittery makeup that speaks to your 10 year old self? I know when I see it the first thing I think of are princesses, fairytales, and happily ever after. Nothing wrong with that!
